Waste solar photovoltaic panels to make pellets
An increase in average module lifetime of 2-3 years could decrease waste by 2-3 million metric tons by 2050. Research to understand and prevent common causes of early breakdowns and power loss, such as damage from extreme weather, can extend solar panel lifespans as well.

The key aim of this study is to highlight an updated review of the waste generation of solar panels and a sketch of the present status of recovery efforts, policies on solar panel EOL management and recycling. The review also anticipates the base of solar panel recycling recommending future directions for public policymakers.
As PV demand increases, so will the need to mine valuable materials—a motivation for domestic reuse and recycling. Moreover, decommissioned PV modules could total 1 million tons of waste in the United States by 2030, or 1% of the world’s e-waste.
A new plant in France aims to extract silver from old solar panels to make recycling them worth the trouble.
The IRENA report “End-of-Life Management: Solar Photovoltaic Panels” [7] provides a comprehensive analysis of waste volume, resource recovery potential, and future waste generation forecasts, crucial for addressing this growing challenge. It serves as a foundational piece for shaping the outline of this paper and developing the key research .
